LinkedIn, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, and LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky, among others, have been fined INR 27 lakh by the Registrar of Companies (RoC) for violating the significant beneficial owner (SBO) norms under the Companies Act, 2013.

The SBO rules were introduced in 2018 to identify ultimate beneficial ownership in Indian companies. The companies are reviewing the order to determine next steps.

Indian authorities are reportedly expanding their ownership checks to the local arms of multiple multinational companies (MNCs). Registrars of Companies (RoCs) are scrutinising company disclosures and shareholding information of MNCs' Indian units to ascertain whether they have identified significant beneficial owners (SBOs). The move follows penalties imposed on LinkedIn and Samsung for violating SBO reporting norms. The increased focus on enforcement stems from a recent review by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), an international body fighting money laundering and terrorism financing. The RoCs have reportedly been removing defunct firms and detecting shell companies in recent years.
